We had a wonderful experience. The location could not have been better. Very well maintained daily. Local grocery store and coffee nearby. The kids enjoyed our front row view of turtles and whales. Welcomed with a box of chocolates, a special touch. Mahalo! We made many special memories. 🌺
Debbie & Tammy were amazing! The apartment is excellent and equipped with a washer and dryer (very helpful when island hopping on holiday). The sliding doors open onto the common area which faces the sea. We regularly saw green turtles swim right in front and got some amazing shots. You could also see whale breaches in the distance directly in front of this apartment. Our stay was great and Tammy gave us a few Christmas ornaments as a memento of our trip that will go up on our 2025 Christmas tree.I ended up having 2 slipped discs, mistaken as sciatic pain, and they were empathetic, provided me with a cold water bottle to rub to ease the pain. My gratitude to Tammy & Debbie for their hospitality and kindness.The apartment and location are excellent and the turtles and whales were icing on the cake that made our stay memorable. We also saw the reflection of the moon on the sea early in the morning. It was amazing! I would highly recommend staying here and will stay again when I visit next. Mahalo!

My Husband and I have been coming to Makani Sands for about 20 plus years. Many years ago we started planning vacations at Makani Sands with our adult children. It has expanded into grandchildren, my sister and brother, cousin, in-laws and friends. This used to be the best kept secret, but I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. Tammy and Debbie are the best!

Reviewer Comments:
Amazing location, quiet and peaceful for the most part. Our specific unit, 101, was quite dirty and cluttered with stuff. The closests were full of random things for maintenance. There is also NO air conditioner which was unclear at booking. The grounds are nice- great ocean access for snorkeling, BBQs with a sunset view and the pool was fun for the kids. The view from your unit will be amazing and you are likely to see turtles swimming by. The emoloyees were all pleasant and helpful and they keep the grounds clean. Fellow guests can make or break your stay as this is a small complex. Great neighbors at the beginning of our stay followed by a nightmare group including some staying directly above us in 201 and 301 the last nights of our stay. Yelling outside our unit to one another during quiet hours and smoking at the non smoking property. Overall I would recommend staying here and note that all the units are unique so pick one that has what you are looking for.

The management is superb! I stayed on the bottom floor which makes it some much nicer to just walk out the slider to the ocean feet away. I have been all over the island and done all the activity, staying here makes it nice to stay at home for the day, you have it all right there, snorkeling with turtles, you can take your paddle board out, sunsets are stunning.

Reviewer Comments:
The unit needs a a lot of work. There is so much stuff in the closets that we had nowhere to put our suitcases or things. My husband opened a drawer in the master bath and drawer front twisted in his hand. Front door knob does not lock. The chair in the dining room had a screw sticking up into the seat. The light in the dining room did not work. The toilets were running and screaming when we got there, which was fixed. The garbage disposal did not work, they fixed it. The dishwasher door would not stay open. The bed WAY too big for the room. The light over the bed does not work. The kitchen cabinets are in TERRIBLE shape. The shower faucet is loose. It might be leaking in the wall. Table on deck has a broken leg. It sits on a rock. The drapes are falling off the hooks in both rooms. Can't get them closed all the way. Flood light outside of unit flashes on and off all night.I would recommend the property but NOT this unit.
This is the best vacation my wife and I have ever taken in our 55 years of marriage. The unit we had was on the ground floor, less than 30 feet from the waters edge. The ocean view and gentle sound of the waves where so relaxing. Our unit had every thing you would need and the complex had tables with chairs and lounges overlooking the beach and the beautiful multi shade blue ocean, built in gas bar BQ's for steaks, fish and chicken. One day I went snorkeling just 25 feet from shore of the complex and saw several turtles and tropical fish without having to travel anywhere by car. It was my first time snorkeling and was an amazing experience I will never forget. I am already planning my next vacation to come back here for next year. When you find paradise you must try to come back as many times as you can. I just can't stop smiling every time I think of my stay in Maui and at Makani Sands.

Makani Sands #101 was overall perfect for our vacation. We very much enjoyed the beach which was basically in the backyard. The water had so much opportunity for snorkeling and we were able to see multiple Sea Turtles. The condo was well taken care of with a generous amount of amenities. We had a great time and would stay there again.

The view and location of this condo were nothing short of spectacular! Right on the ocean. There are turtles that hang out there daily. Really loved our stay!
Whales, Water, Wind, Waves - What a Wonderful Week
A lovely home away from home, but better because it is on Maui!
The louvered windows opened to keep the ocean breeze flowing through the suite, and the lovely sound of waves permeating it.
Close enough to walk to interesting things to do, yet far enough away to not be busy.
We were able to sit in the lanai, or on the terrace, and watch whales - so exciting and entertaining. I went in the water out front everyday to play in the waves and enjoy the ocean - I appreciated the outside shower to wash off after my dips.
We were also consumed by the flowers, the trees, the birds, the geckos in the yard, green spaces - so beautiful.
All the staff were helpful and pleasant.
Luckily, our week was sunny and warm - we were grateful for the ice in the freezer - it kept our water bottles cool, even in the lovely heat.
I hope to return, so many good memories...I hope to make more!!

I have stayed at Makani Sands for 41 years........Our trip was fabulous and for the most part, so was Makani Sands. We were in 101 for the second week and found the unit in need of some updating, repair, and insect control. Unfortunately the kitchen was in need of some basic culinary equipment and the sofa needed cleaning - smelled horrible. We appreciated the corner unit with extra windows, 2nd bathroom, etc. but overall it needs an update. Tammy was fabulous.
Condo was everything you would want clean and had all the small things you will need for a stay, (beach towels. Snorkeling equip, dishes) only thing is there is NO BEACH OUT BACK, the picture they show is either from years ago when they had a beach or another property beach. We did see whales and turtles almost daily, condo was clean although cable was out in the bedroom told fron office on day one, day nine on check out still not working but this seems to be the cable provider issue not the condos.
This was our first time in Hawaii for our family. The condo was very comfortable and we felt very safe. We loved having the ocean steps from our back door. We drank tea out on the porch every morning and evening and watched the whales. Just the sound of the waves crashing all day was amazing. The water comes right up to the wall so there was no beach. The stairs to get up and down are also blocked off. We had no issues finding parking in the parking lot and the kids loved the heated pool. The condo has a washer and dryer that we used during our stay. Having two bathrooms was great for our family. The kitchen had everything needed to cook meals, even a rice cooker! The gas grills are steps from the unit and we used them many times. They were super convenient. We were very comfortable at Makani Sands and would stay again. The unit has no AC, but there are several fans and plenty of windows. The unit also has plenty of sheets and blankets available. This building is within walking distance of the playground and a few shops. We had an amazing first trip to Hawaii and we can't wait to return.
Great oceanfront condo that was perfect for our family getaway. The host was accommodating and provided us with a pack and play for a baby to sleep in. Great views of the sunset and occasional sea turtle spotting from the deck. In a quiet neighborhood Just a few minutes from The big beaches.

Wow, what a fantastic stay!! My husband and I could not believe how pretty the view from the back patio was. It was our own piece of paradise. The condo itself was adorable too! Had great kitchen utensils and a beach vibe. We were truly heartbroken to leave. Side note- Tammy in the front office is such a pleasure. Such a sweet lady and truly cares for her guests! :) We wish we were already back at Makani Sands!!
